Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Inky in color with a purplish rim.

Soft nose of black currants, cherries, plums, oak, vanilla, cloves, spices, smoke and earth.

Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with plums, black currants, wood, vanilla, vegetables, dark coffee, bitter herbs, vegetables and peppercorn.

Short finish with soft tannins and bitter herbs.

This Malbec from California is unbalanced and simple. Hot at the back of the throat and bitter on the ending.

Not for me.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

78 points.

$5.

Bold fruity flavor, but the aftertaste is a touch too acrid
